http://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html also discusses the
need to look at Corporate CLAs to cover the case where employees have IP
agreements with their employers that might cover work done in or outside
of working hours.
The important thing is to be sure that NONE of the content is ever
subject to litigation by a person or company that can claim that they
own parts of the software or documentation.
This is specially true of companies that are incorporating OFBiz into
products that they deliver.
Having your client sued for IP infringement for using the ERP that you
provided, will not be fun.

Hi all,
In general that is a good idea. Contributing has implications, not only for
contributors, but also every one else (including the ASF itself) who
touches the contribution. Everybody must be aware of those implications and
the means to deal with these. The iCLA helps in that respect.
